Hospice charting software for San Antonio agencies
LCD-aligned visit notes, HOPE assessment tracking, and audit-defensible documentation — built for Bexar County hospice nurses.
Medicare MAC: Novitas Solutions (Jurisdiction H) · Serving agencies throughout Bexar County and South Texas
San Antonio's hospice market has distinct characteristics that shape documentation demands. Bexar County has one of the largest concentrations of military veterans and retirees in the United States, driven by JBSA (Joint Base San Antonio) and the South Texas Veterans Health Care System. Veterans transitioning to hospice from VA care often carry complex medical histories with multiple comorbidities, and their hospice documentation needs to reflect that complexity to survive audit scrutiny.
San Antonio is also a predominantly Spanish-speaking community — approximately 64% of the metro population is Hispanic or Latino — and hospice agencies here navigate family communication dynamics, advance directive discussions, and care preferences that often require Spanish-speaking nurses or trained interpreters. While Medicare documentation must be in English, the patient and family context in notes often references conversations conducted in Spanish.
Agencies in Bexar County operate under Novitas Solutions (Jurisdiction H) for Medicare. The clinical documentation requirements are consistent with all Texas hospice agencies, but the patient mix — with high volumes of cardiac, diabetes-related, and renal patients alongside the veteran population — means nurses must be fluent in multiple LCD criteria simultaneously.
What NotePush does for San Antonio hospice nurses
LCD-aligned notes
Every visit note maps to the Medicare eligibility criteria for the patient's diagnosis. No boilerplate — specific, auditable language.
HOPE assessment tracking
Dashboard alerts for open Admission, HUV1, HUV2, and Discharge windows. CMS requires 90%+ submission to avoid the 4-pt APU penalty.
Recertification narratives
AI generates recert narratives from visit trends — PPS, weight, ADL status — not copy-forward language that flags in ADR review.
Note audit tool
Paste any note and see exactly which LCD criteria it meets, what's missing, and what an ADR reviewer would flag.

Questions from San Antonio hospice agencies
Does NotePush support documentation for veteran patients on both VA and Medicare hospice benefits in San Antonio?
NotePush is designed around Medicare LCD criteria, which is the standard for most hospice patients. Veterans who elect the Medicare Hospice Benefit (rather than VA hospice) are documented the same way as any Medicare patient. Veterans on the VA Hospice Benefit follow VA documentation standards, which NotePush doesn't currently template separately, though the AI note generator can produce clinically detailed notes usable across both contexts.
Our San Antonio agency serves bilingual Spanish-English patients. Can NotePush help with family communication documentation?
Visit notes generated by NotePush are in English (required for Medicare). However, the note can include relevant family communication details — including that a conversation was conducted in Spanish with an interpreter present, or specific quotes translated to English. The patient profile also supports notes in any language for internal clinical context.
How does NotePush handle the high volume of multi-comorbidity patients common in South Texas?
NotePush's LCD evaluation handles multiple active diagnoses simultaneously. For a patient with CHF, CKD stage 4, and Type 2 DM — common in South Texas — the eligibility worksheet evaluates each applicable criterion and surfaces the strongest documentation basis for the terminal prognosis. The audit tool flags gaps in any relevant criteria so nothing is missed.
